About the role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer- GTM to join the team. The infrastructure to support this doesn't exist yet. You can't just duct-tape together a few API calls and call it production-ready.

What they're looking for

  • Business Acumen: You don’t just question the how but also the why - discovering impact, architecture design and deal-winning opportunities
  • AI and ML literacy: You have worked with LLMs, agents, evals, or ML pipelines in production. Familiarity with the modern stack (vLLM, SGLang, LangChain, Triton, model serving) is a strong plus
  • Design and Architecture: Comfortable leading an architecture discussion with a customer's engineering leaders, then doing the work yourself. High agency and a bias for action
  • We especially welcome founding engineers and CTOs of early-stage startups, as well as engineers from infrastructure, MLOps, and developer-tool companies
